I haven't been able to make sense of what a resistance team really consists of. zFinn, Poe and RT are the only 3 mentioned every time, some have R2 and Rey, some have Rey and RPilot, some have R2 and Rpilot. thrawn527 posted:Resistance is probably your best bet right now, but Jedi seem to be getting some focus lately. Yoda is super handy when facing a team that kills you with debuffs. And a basic Jedi team is pretty easy to farm, especially if you already have a 7* Phoenix squad with Kanan and Ezra. I must admit i really like the idea of having a team that is great at GW. Failing GW is a big worry of mine so having a get out of jail free card for GW is very tempting.

Resistance Trooper is not optional for Resistance. He, Finn and Poe are in every Resistance comp you'll find. Pilot/Rey/R2 are the interchangeable ones. It depends on the fight. For single target, you want Pilot for the added exposes. For damage (like killing/dazing B2s or turrets quickly), Rey. In AAT p2, R2 gets benched, for example. In GW, Pilot gets benched.

Ineptitude posted:Yeah, he is the reason i have ~6 weeks left of CLS preparation, as the other guys i need to finish before that (TFP, RG, FBLuke) takes 3 weeks. GW became easier for me when I stopped trying to have "The Team" that would win, and focused on multiple teams. I remember when I started I would put my best foot forward, A Team right out of the gate. Then when attrition piled up and I started getting into harder battles, my teams were getting worse. What I do now is I start with my C team. Phasma led and no real synergies, but a team that can hold it's own for the first 3 maybe 4 nodes. Then I bring in my Rebels who can punch way over the weight limit thanks to Wiggs. They can get pretty far. Then when they fail, I bring in my A Team at full strength to do the hardest battles. I should say this worked pretty well until recently, where the last 2-3 nodes have become loving impossible, filled with G12 CLS and Thrawn as far as the eye can see.

I hate when you're too slow backing out of a GW fight you're going to lose. I could have beaten my 12 nodes today, but lost my team.

This is mostly a solid plan but I'd recommend taking in the B and C teams for the first two nodes to give everyone some preloaded TM if you go that route. (What I actually do is run my "oh crap the A team lost after killing 2 enemies on the last node and I need to mop up" team on 1, then 2-8, what I do is run Zader lead, with Palp, TFP, and rotating cast of two in back; I swap people out when they finish a fight at 50% or more TM with relevant cooldowns ready. Then from 9-12, I can swap to my actual best team and even change out pieces to countercomp or bring in a fresh body with full TM for each fight.)

Just that the earliest nodes are the easiest. You can get TM for your backup squads without them losing too much protection

Use every team that you intend to use over the course of the whole GW on the first few battles before it gets hard. That way when you use them on hard stuff, all of your people will go first.

I have it go the other way for me, especially with my Rebel squad. If I use them at all before I need to use them, the enemy team gets a turn or 2 before I have a chance to go once.

I have: full g11 zQGJ Jedi team, arena grade mods full g11 zCody clones team, very decent mods g11/g10 Phoenix team g11/g10 Sith team with DN or Emperor lead g11/g10 Rebels led by CLS g10 Nightsisters team g10 Imperial Troopers team and a whole bunch of other g10 characters and finishing GW is still a huge chore now that my node 12 is no longer broken and is a full g12 meta team every day. I basically cannot afford to lose a single team because I need ALL of them to beat the final node (CLS, R2, Thrawn, Rex, GK or similar) Hopefully the Resistance team which I am building next will make it a lot easier

Mr. Neutron posted:Hopefully the Resistance team which I am building next will make it a lot easier I pre-load 3 teams in my GW, but with a zFinn and a resistance that's all gear 8 (except R2, who is G11) I've almost always able to beat every single node of GW with them since the G12 update went live. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the RNG to play the way I want it (and also learning to always target GK with the taunt to apply buff immunity on him) but I only need to bust out my arena team maybe once a week to finish GW. Resistance is extremely good and don't require a ton of investment compared to other teams. Bonus: they're just as great in territory battles.

Something Maulful goons: We've now reached 2* in the middle territory for phase 4. If you haven't deployed yet, please deploy to the bottom territory. Also some tips going forward: In all battles there is a special attack available, it's a circular button on the left side of the screen. In ship battles it does good damage and stuns the target ship. In ground battles, it does a big aoe that also removes turn meter. The damage is enough so that if you use it on the first wave, you should pretty much clear everything, so there's no excuse for not throwing whatever dregs you might have into a fight. Also be aware that there are 2 fights in the middle territory and one in the bottom. Also, the special attack is in place of the current character's attack, so save it for Barriss (or whoever), unless you're going to get wiped out anyway. Finally, please check the in-game chat before assigning anyone to a platoon. We're trying to call out uncompletable platoons (that have one of the new ewoks, or cassian's ship for example). Avoid assigning anyone to these platoons, because there's no benefit to an uncompleted platoon, and your ship might have been needed in a different one.

Phew, managed to get 7* Palpie. The fight felt a lot harder than the impression i had of it from reading forums/guides. I barely got past stage 5 the first try and had to spend 5 million on mods to get past stage 6. I finished stage 7 with Hera, Biggs (died almost instantly), Chopper, Zeb all at GL8 and Ezra at GL9. I had a really lucky run i presume as i tried with this exact team several times and wildly different results. Anything from losing 2 of my guys before i got a single move off to killing the 2 RGs and getting Vader before Palpie finished me off. I guess i should try to get my Phoenix Squad to GL10 in preparation for Thrawn then. I stacked tenacity out of my ears on all my dudes, 6 tenacity set mods with tenacity primary on the available slots and tenacity secondary on the rets. All my guys have 50-75% tenacity. This seemed to help against getting chain stunned by Palpies lightning attacks. Mods are still a bit of a mystery to me. I know how to farm them, how set bonii works, what primaries to get, but how do i know which secondaries the individual heroes wants?

Ineptitude posted:Phew, managed to get 7* Palpie. Everyone wants speed secondaries. Then, attackers want crit chance and offense, tanks want protection%, health and protection numbers. There's a tool on http://apps.crouchingrancor.com/ that suggests the best sets for each toon. Use the tool, it's really good for moving mods and finding out you actually had a 15+ speed secondary mod on some useless toon.

I think having a speed stat in a turn based game might just be folly. Seems like whether or not it grants extra turns means it's either useless or the only stat you want more of over the others, ever, with no middle ground.

Grats on getting it done, but remember that most people's difficulty assessments for these events is from a level 80+ perspective. Increasing gear past what others in the thread suggest, can, as you've learned, compensate greatly.

Level 80+ and G8 with Hera is the bare minimum for Thrawn. If you're ditching her, you'd probably need g 10 or 11 all around. I mean, think of what you give up by not using Hera: 20% TM after using specials. (Let's call that equivalent to 20 speed) 40% Offense from Ezra. 75% Counter Chance and 25% healing whenever hit by a debuff. 40% of max HP as protection and 15% protection regen on turn And one of: 15% health regen on turn/15% Protection up when hit or 25% Crit Chance/Crit Damage. That's massive just look at all that healing. Chevy Slyme fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Sep 16, 2017 |
